Irish Anarchist Andrew Flood in Syracuse

Andrew Flood will be speaking at the Women's Information Center in Syracuse on March 15 at 7:30 pm.

March 15 in Syracuse at the Women's Information Center (601 Allen St Syracuse, NY 13210) Irish anarchist organiser and labor activist Andrew Flood will be giving a talk at 7:30pm.
This talk will focus on the Irish anarchist movement as an example of
effective organization and movement-building. A decade ago the active
anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of little more than a dozen people
in two small organizations. Today hundreds of people are active and one
banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw 5,000 people take part.
Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish republicans as the boogeyman of
the mainstream media. This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and
details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in, including
antiwar, environmental and workers struggles.

This doesn't require any prior knowledge of anarchism or Ireland and should
be of interest to anyone interested in radical politics.
